Propaganda Posters
For this assignment my class was tasked with choosing a world conflict, researching it, then designing a WW2 propaganda poster that uses propaganda to convey a clear message. I decided to make my propaganda poster about racial injustice and police brutality in America. Due to the racial discrimination our nation was built upon, systems like the criminal justice system are embedded with policies and practices that lead to the unfair treatment of others based on race. People of color have been disproportionately affected by countless discriminatory practices like racial profiling, unlawful arrests, and police violence, so I created my poster to shed light to these important problems. I used images from the black lives matter movement to emotionally connect to the viewer. For example I used references of a popular victim of police brutality, George Floyd, to give the viewers someone they could connect to and empathize with. I also decided to include a piece of artwork listing out only some of african americans affected by police brutality so people could see the sheer scale of this vital issue. Finally, I chose the slogan “liberty and justice for all” because it illustrates the hypocracy present in our own American pledge of allegiance.

For this project, my group memebers (Lucinda Peterson, Regie Ingram, and Madison Ford) and I were asked to create an original recipe using ingredients from either the Eastern or the Western hemisphere. This was becasue during the time we were learning about the colombian exchange and the transfer of different foods. We also had to figure out a way to tie our identity to the dish we created. This dish has multiple connections to the Western Hemisphere. One connection to the Western Hemisphere is blueberries. Blueberries are native to North America, specifically the United States. Another ingredient that connects our recipe to the western Hemisphere is chocolate. Cacao is native to Central and South America. By using ingredients from these continents, we have created a recipe connected to the Western Hemisphere. This dish has connections to several members of our groups. I have a connection based on my family. A common treat for my family is banana bread, and this recipe uses the same basic elements, but using blueberries. Lucinda and Regie both have grandparents that have blueberry bushes. A fond childhood memory is picking blueberries in the summer, followed by making treats like this with the fresh berries. Our group has multiple heartfelt connections to this dish.
